WARNING: Post contains brief footage of in-cage injury.

A flyweight bout at a Brave CF event in Bahrain ended in ugly fashion on Friday.

Bahrain’s own Hussain Ayyad was in action against unbeaten Latvian fighter Matiss Zaharovs when he landed an ill-fated leg kick that resulted in what appeared to be an ankle injury.
